Some important things to remember:
- The CDC doesn’t care if you enjoy your cruise.
- The CDC doesn’t care about anything except reducing the infection rate.
Back when this ‘negotiation’ between the CDC and the cruise lines began, the cruise lines proposed, IIRC, seven different factors about reopening cruising. The one glaring thing that wasn’t mentioned was enjoying your cruise.
The CDC does not care about reducing the infection rate. If they did they would do something (anything?) about the southern border.
“The CDC doesn’t care about anything except reducing the infection rate.”
The CDC does not give a d*** about reducing the infection rate. In fact, I think they want it to be worse. They love the power it gives them.
I agree with some of the previous posters since the CDC doesn't seem to care about the infected people illegally crossing our border and going to many states around this country carrying many different types of diseases besides Covid.
In the past, families on cruise line were few and far between. Recently it looks like cruise lines are trying to attract cruising families with kids.
If you look at the design of the new cruise ships the top decks are playgrounds for kids, an of course younger parent types.
You must have noticed how some of the Lines were happy that the kids might now have to be vaccinated. That means the kids can go on cruise lines that have only vaccinated passengers allowed onboard. Good for a family cruise.
Also IMHO the Cruise Lines did a poor public relations job of separating the Vaxxed and unvaxxed, without aggravating the old time reliable unvaxxed cruisers.
As my old Irish grandmother explained to me, Irish diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell, but doing it in such a way, that they look forward to the trip. -Tom
The CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT CDC ONLY WANTS TO CONTROL YOU!
